iza-ww in a solid body, this double ended cone is un- .screwed and removed from the suspender rod B.

J. represents the disk which is provided for the purpose of preventing accidental damage to the sprayer, and which has a milled edge. This disk is also used as an easy means for the removal of the invention from the hose or pump, by unscrewing of the nozzle by means of the screw threads M within the lower portion of the director below the round or Winged grid C.

The method of using our invention is as 'folloWsF-The director or nozzle A is connected to the hose by means of the screw thread and the double ended cone or spreader F is screwed upon the suspender rod B. The tap is then turned on and the water or liquid flows through the director or nozzle and 'upon its exit strikes the sides G of the double ended cone or spreader. To regulate the density of the spray the spreader or double ended cone F may be screwed either up or down the suspender rod B. If the spreader or double ended cone be taken oil and reversed upon the sus pender rod a spray of wide radius is obtained. The double ended cone or spreader is not screw threaded as indicated at K, its entire length. This allows a clear and smooth passage of the water over the sus- I pender rod and spreader when latter is screwed closely down.

A removable pin L or the like may be passed through a hole in the upper end of the suspender rod B to prevent possible loss of the spreader or deflecting memberF.

Claims: 4

1. An adjustable sprayer and sprinkler device comprising in combination a nozzle portion, a reversible deflecting member in the form of two conical portions of difleren t lengths united at their bases, a groove be tween said conical portions, a suspender for said deflecting member, an aperture in said deflecting member whereby it may be arranged upon said suspender, a recess forming partof-said aperture in the end of the longenpOrtion of said deflector, and a wide flangeprojecting outwardly-from the upper endof said nozzle for such a distance as to-protect the device fromdamage should it be dropped.

2. An adjustable sprayer and sprinkler device comprising in combination, a nozzle portion, a reversible deflecting member in the form of two conical portions of different lengths unitedat their bases, a groove between said conical portions, a suspender for said deflecting member, an aperture in said deflecting member whereby it may be arranged upon said suspender, a recess forming part of said aperture in the end of the longer portion of said deflector, a Wide flange projecting outwardly from the upper end of said nozzle for such a distance as to protect the device from damage should it be dropped, and a milled edge upon said flange whereby to facilitate the fitting of the device upon a hose or its removal therefrom.

3. An adjustable sprayer and sprinkler device comprising in combination a nozzle port-ion, a reversible deflecting member in the form of two conical portions of diflerent lengths united at their bases, a groove between said conical. portions, a suspender for said deflecting member, an aperture in said deflecting member wherebyit may be arranged upon said suspender, a recess forming part of said aperture in the end of the longer portion of said deflector, said suspender having a hole through its outer end adapted to receive a removable locking member to prevent accidental loss of the deflecting member, anda wide flange projecting outwardly from theupper end of said nozzle for such a distance as to protect the device from damage should it be' dropped.

4. In an adjustable sprinkler and sprayer a reversible deflecting member in the form of two truncated cones united at their bases and having an annular groove extending around said bases and means to adjust the position of said deflector.

In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
